Q (1): Assertion : The atomic masses of many elements are in fractions and not whole numbers.
Reason : The fractional atomic masses of elements are due to the existence of their isotopes having different masses.
Q (2): Assertion: Atom is electrically neutral.
Reason : A neutral particle, neutron is present in the nucleus of atom.
Q (3): Assertion : Cathode rays get deflected towards the positive plate of electric field.
Reason: Cathode rays consist negatively charged particles known as electrons.
Q (4): Assertion : In Rutherford's experiment, some of the alpha-particles deflect by large angles.
Reason: alpha-particles are much heavier than the protons.
Q (5): Assertion : Protium and deuterium are isotopes.
Reason: Isotopes have same mass numbers.
Q (6): Assertion: The number of electrons in the valence shell of helium atom is 2.
Reason: The valency of helium is 2.
Q (7): Assertion: Cathode rays travel in straight lines.
Reason: Cathode rays do not penetrate through thin sheets.
Q (8): Assertion : Atomic number is always equal to the number of electrons.
Reason: Atomic number doesn't change during a chemical reaction.
Q (9): Assertion : Calcium and argon are isobars.
Reason : Calcium and argon have same mass numbers.
Q (10): Assertion (A) : The number of valence electrons in oxygen atom is 6.
Reason (R): The valency of oxygen atom is 6.
Q (11): Assertion (A): Most of the alpha-particles in Rutherford's experiment passed straight through the gold foil.
Reason (R): The centre of the atom is positively charged.
Q (12): Assertion (A): All isotopes of a given element show the same type of chemical behaviour.
Reason (R): The chemical properties of an atom are controlled by the number of electrons in the atom.
Q (13): Assertion: Atom is electrically neutral.
Reason: Equal number of protons and electrons are present in an atom
Q (14): Assertion: Mass of an atom is the sum of its nucleons.
Reason: Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom.
Q (15): Assertion: Inert elements show zero valency.
Reason: Atoms of inert element have fully filled outermost orbit.
